Tetsu0san Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 That should be all you need for a basic lift, but if you are doing a lot of off road I would fit extended brake lines and remove the antiroll bars. You may have issues with the castor on your front axle which may cause bump steer and wooly steering on road but it doesn't effect everyone with a lift. The doughnut on the rear prop may wear out quicker (if it's not already worn out) so bear that in mind too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Member Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Okay... +4" shocks add a whole bunch of requirements. The shocks will bottom out and the springs will unseat. If you want to keep them... - You will need to limit compression travel with longer bump stops or change the shock mounts. - You will need to add spring retainers or dislocation cones to prevent the springs from unseating (those are in the picture, but not the description) - You will need longer brake lines (those are in the picture, but not the description) - You will need higher angle propshafts to prevent binding on full extension.
